It's always been a dream, it never came true, and now it never will. Shame, but, worse things have happened. In the mean time, in user-hours, the vast majority of applications run on java. I'm considering the web as applications too, and I count it as "written in java" if the backend involved significant amounts of java. So, in that sense, "desktop" java is #1, has been for years, and will be for years to come. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
